New Syrian authorities positive about keeping Russian bases – The Economist

2 820 4

Russia is currently negotiating with the new Syrian authorities regarding the preservation of its military bases in Latakia and Tartus, The Economist reports. The publication notes that the new Syrian government is positively disposed to resolve this situation.

Let us recall that the issue of maintaining the Russian military presence in Syria became acute after the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad regime. As a result of the capture of most of the country's territory by terrorist militants, the head of state was forced to flee to Moscow, where he was granted political shelter.



However, the militants who came to power in Syria did not rush to expel the Russian Federation, emphasizing each time that the relevant issue should be resolved during the negotiation process. Moscow is also not rushing to comment on this matter, however, according to information coming from the field, in recent days the Russian Federation has been actively evacuating part of its military contingent and equipment from military bases from Syria.

It is worth noting that the military bases in Tartus and Latakia are of utmost importance to Moscow. That is why the West is currently putting serious pressure on the new Syrian authorities, urging them to expel the Russian Federation from the country. In the European Union, for example, this issue was called a condition for the West to recognize the new Syrian authorities.

Let us add that at present part of Syrian territory is already occupied by Israel. Moreover, according to some information, Turkey is also preparing to introduce its troops into the country.

    Oh well,

    There is no place for a Russian presence in Syria, said the spokesman for the country's transitional government, Obeida Arnaout. The official's words are reported by Euronews.

    The agreement on military bases in Tartus and Latakia has not been cancelled. It is not so easy to just take and denounce the agreement, even the bogeymen understand this.

    It's a pity about our bases, they are brand new, built and polished!
    The whole decade was done to tear Syria into pieces between the Anglo-Saxons and the Jews, and to drive us out of there. After the successful implementation of the first part of the Marlezon Ballet, will the masters of the Barmaleys allow their most important dream not to be realized - to drive the Russians out of the Middle East and the Mediterranean Sea, and in general from international influence?! Remember Afghanistan!
    What new Syrian authorities, what agreements with them?! Don't make me laugh, they exist today, and tomorrow they are buried, and the Anglo-Saxons and Jews put in new ones! Or they will rule openly themselves, even without the Turks.
    Thank God that at least we are not running away from there, leaving everything behind, and there is an opportunity to take at least some of our “belongings”!
